With this win, popularity of formula car racing will grow rapidly in India, however it does certainly not necessitate organization of an Formula 1 Grand Prix event in India in 2011. Can Formula 1 racing be defined as a "sport"?- according to govt. of India it is an open question. The government may have not recognized it as a sport, only because to turn down much anticipated demands by interested parties in view of organizing 2011 Grand Prix in India and another reason could be that motor sports is generally considered a luxury.
